Davey and Chuck won't write us that $400,000,000 check because they have to use it with another $500,000,000 (I like to use all the zeros, it has more impact than saying $500 million) to buy the Presidency and to make sure Congress stays under their control.

The party that talks the talk about values needs to walk the walk. The state has an obligation to the members of KPERS. KPERS was part of the employment agreement just like their salary. It must be funded and made secure.

Who is going to complete the projects? The last time I visited with my friends at KDOT the staff has been reduced to the point it is barely enough to keep the doors open and the moral for those left is next non-existent.

Does anyone really think he will face any consequences even if there is an indictment or even a conviction? The GOP have fooled too many people for too long and they are too entrenched in power. We lost what may have been our last hope of a return to anything like a centrist common sense democratic government with the reelection of this fascist regime.
